Default Me against z06

my mods: cam, headers, exhaust, tuned, a4.

I was driving home the other day when i see this yellow z06. now i've never ran one so i was kinda anxious to see if he wanted to play. i pass next to him on his right and throw a couple revs at him, and then i make a right turn... and he follows. he pulls up to me at the light and rolls down his window and says "your car doesn't sound very stock, what do you got" i tell him " just cam and full exhaust" and i ask him " if he wants to run. i've never ran a z06 and been wanting to race one. what do you have done to your car" he replies " exhaust and a filter". we go on the the next light make a U turn and come to a dead stop. i count 3 honks and go.. we hit about 110 on the street and i put about 2-3 car lengths on him. i tell him good race and he says, " with a cam you shoulda been further ahead of me" i say " i know but it's an automatic, so that might be why" and he was surprised.

i felt pretty good about beating one since i've never ran or beat one before

You need a stall and some gears. That way it wont matter what mph you race. But I have to say I am suprised he didn't take you of the line since you dont have a stall.

Great run.

All I'm saying is maybe it was a stock/ modded C5 OR the driver had no clue on how to drive a Z. Regardless, I would like to give you the opportunity of a real race with a Z.
I've had people challenge my runs on this site as well..... So I offered to run!

How much does your car weigh (strip anything?) And what did you DYNO?

A stock Z runs low 12s at 113-115 (thats a low average for MPH)

A factory stock TA weighs in at 3350 w/o driver and would take over 400RWHP to run high 11s.
And it would take atleast ( a car capable of ) a high 11 to put 2-3 cars (=4 tenths) on a Z in a 1/4. That is not considering the TRAP speed of 110 (your run in with a Z) is lower than what a average Z yields in the 1/4.
